It’s GAME ON in the 16th action-packed instalment of Thomas Flintham’s American best-selling Press Start! series, the stakes are bigger than ever - literally.
Meanie King Viking has built the Gigabot, the biggest robot the world has ever seen… but now it’s been stolen! In a surprising twist, King Viking turns to his usual rival, Super Rabbit Boy, for help. Can our pixel-powered hero climb inside the Gigabot, reach the Control Room, and unmask the mysterious thief? Get ready for wild twists, big laughs, and epic adventure in Super Rabbit Boy vs. the Gigabot! published by Scholastic's Branches imprint, in the US this month.
Thomas Flintham’s first book, Press Start! Game Over, Super Rabbit Boy! bounced onto American bookshelves in 2017. Super Rabbit Boy continues to enjoy unimaginable success worldwide with legions of young fans, particularly reluctant readers, eagerly reading every adventure.
Heavily inspired by computer games, animation, mazes, puzzles and retro toys Thomas’s madcap bold lined illustrations are created digitally, giving them the aesthetic which really appeals to the target audience. The subject matter of friendship, adventure, gaming and mystery solving have created the perfect recipe for a best-selling younger fiction series and the fact they are packed full of comic style illustrations only strengthens these books as a flourishing brand.
Here are some of our favourite illustrations.
